Association Between Endometriosis and Tubo-Ovarian Abscess
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Tubo-ovarian abcesses (TOAs) are complicating factors in approximately one-fourth of hospitalized cases of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). However, many women with TOAs have no antecedent history of PID or sexually transmitted diseases. Moreover, it has not been fully elucidated that which risk factors are associated with TOA and TOAs will develop at whom. In recent studies, it has been questioned whether endometriosis is a risk factor for TOA. The purpose of the study was to identify the incidence of endometriosis in patients who have been surgically treated due to TOA and to search clinical-demographical differences among the groups with and without endometriosis. Methods: A total of 118 patients were divided into two groups according to pathologic results, whether endometriosis with TOAs was confirmed histologically, or not, and demographical-clinical characteristics were investigated. Results: The mean age of patients was 40.9 ± 8.5 years and 21 (17.8%) were postmenopausal. The intrauterine device was in situ at the time of TOA diagnosis in 49 (41.5%) patients. Concomitant disease and previous pelvic surgery history were identified in 16 (13.6%) and 43 (36.4%) patients, respectively. Final histopathological analyses revealed endometriosis with TOA in 21 (17.8%) patients. When all patients were divided into two groups with and without endometriosis and compared according to clinical and demographical characteristics, there were not any significant differences identified (P > 0.05), except hemoglobin values (P = 0.039). Conclusion: Endometriosis with TOA is not only in reproductive period but also in menopause, more prevalent than expected for normal population.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
